Front DAW by Soundevice Digital

New plugin free for time-limited period

September 5, 2019 | JT

We announce the availability of the new analogue simulating plugin called Front DAW. The plugin is compatible with all major DAW applications (VST/AAX/AU) on both Windows and OS X.

The idea of the Front DAW as the front door to your recording application comes from Greg Brimson, well established British producer, remixer and musician, as the result of his long term desire for the old-school analogue sound in his DAW. 

As the name suggests, Front DAW is intended to be used as the very first plugin on every track (if desired – FD is really CPU friendly). The plugin adds gain and subtle saturation to them. Thanks to VARM (Variable Analogue Random Modeling – used also previously on Royal Compressor) each track would sound slightly different even with identical settings. 

But using identical settings may not be the case for everybody, because the plugin offers three types of saturation circuits: BR represents classic fat British consoles, US stands for legendary punchy American style input. Switching to GE will give you velvet-sounding colourful vintage German tube console. 

All you have to do is to set the gain, choose saturation mode and set the saturation amount with the Mojo knob.

Temporarily Free

The price of the plugin is set to €49 but the lucky customers who visit the product page before September 15 can get the plugin for free.

All they have to do is to create a United Plugins account (or sign in if they have one already), add Front DAW to their cart and order the license for €0.

Similarly to other United Plugins effects, Front DAW comes with 15-days fully working trial version. Those who decide not to register and activate during that period can enjoy the plugin‘s sound even after the trial expires. Only the functionality is then limited to one type of saturation, no hi-pass filter availability and Mojo set to 50% with no chance to edit.
